Social Media Risk: Monitoring and Merged Media

Predict.Plan.Perform.®

How do you monitor and interpret the flood of information available before, during and after crisis?   Last week was perhaps the most intense use of Social Media we have yet experienced.  The Boston Marathon Bombing and subsequent search for perpetrators generated incredible amounts of communication online.  Then, two days later, the West, TX fertilizer plant explosion injured over 200 and took 14 lives added to the volume of social media activity. Simply sorting out what is relevant is a major concern.

In this webinar, we look at recent incidents including the Boston bombings, the West fertilizer plant explosion, and a recent shooter report from the University of Rhode Island among other events. These examples illustrate the need for monitoring and management of social messaging to protect people and property.

Listen and watch, as Firestorm's EVP of Social Media, Karen Masullo, looks at these incidents and explores tools and approaches to help you keep your people and property safe.   Karen has extensive experience in the use and monitoring of Social Media and will provide valuable information in the growing use of these communication tools.

There is no single prescription for reducing violence in the workplace. Each organization is unique and operates in a different social, cultural, ethnic and economic environment. When planning workplace safety issues, Firestorm considers an organization's culture, history, size, industry, and workforce. No matter the size of your company or organization, you need a plan and employees must be aware of the plan.

Listen as Suzy Loughlin and Special Guest Dr. S. David Bernstein, Firestorm Expert Council Member and Clinical Forensic Psychologist of Forensic Consultants, LLC, Author of - Shrinking Crime, and a Member of the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals (ATAP), walk through the principles of Violence Prevention Planning.

Click image to view the webinar (webinar will launch in a new tab/window).

Crisis events over 2012 provided new insights into the impact and use of Social Media.  From managing first alerts to verifying false information, we saw overall, both a higher level of maturity and a higher level of risk evolve.

As we identified new risks– from disaster victims assisting criminals by posting images of their abandoned properties, to extreme media exposure of minors and other vulnerable victims of disaster, we shared this information with our community, and have developed best practices to assist you respond in the event of a like-crisis.

The webinar and companion paper by Firestorm EVP of Social Media, Karen Masullo, “13 Social Communication Basics for 2013”, aim to recap our lessons learned in a manner that helps you as you manage your Social Crisis interactions in 2013, and to take action now. Download the paper now.

Disaster Preparedness for Small Business Owners

Sponsored by Verizon Small Business Webinars
This webcast topic isn't meant to scare you.

It's not meant to make you feel guilty either.

But, it is meant to help you--by forcing you to think about your important business assets and a recovery plan. Disaster is an ugly word. It's not something that you think about everyday. It's something you read about or hear about in the news that affects someone else. But you should think about it--and you should be concerned if you don't have a contingency plan for business-as-usual operations after a catastrophic event.
